  • Title: [Assessment of the significance of climatogeographic conditions as health risk factors].
    Author: Rakhmanov RS, Gadzhiibragimov DA, Medzhikova MA, Kudriavtseva OA.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2010; (2):44-6. PubMed ID: 20491267.
    Abstract:
    Under the conditions of hot and mountain-continental climate, the morbidity rates in the inhabitants were estimated to be significantly lower than those in young men who had not been acclimatized or adapted to living conditions and in non-acclimatized men. A role of individual physical environmental factors (temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, average and maximum air speed) and integral exposure by the wind chill index (a combined impact of an air speed and ambient temperature) as risk factors to human health was defined, The mountain-continental climate showed a relationship of the influence of these factors to habitation at different altitudes above sea level.
